treberty Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 There's so many, so I'll just post a top 5! Partagas SDC 1 & 3 RA 898 Sancho Molinos Punch SS1 (ok, let's make it a top 6 and add the RS11 to the list!) SAD!!!!!!! ;-)

Popular Post Philc2001 Posted January 7, 2018 Popular Post Posted January 7, 2018 The only certainty in a habano's production run is that it could end at any moment. As smokers, we cannot banish the dangers, but we can banish fears. We mustn't demean their production run by standing in awe of HSA deletion. Deletion is no more than a turning of them over from time to eternity. Eternity... such a small word to describe such a haunting vastness. And so we ask ourselves: will their ashes echo across the centuries? Will smokers remember their names long after they're gone and know what they were? The habanos that expired in honorable smoke will not soon be forgotten. Those of us who knew of them will tell stories of their flavor, their subtlety, their sacrifice. We will talk of how they pleased our palates through thick and thin, and how we stocked up as the end drew near. We will carry the memory of those habanos, our beloved cigars, in our hearts forever, we will celebrate their production, and we will cherish the memories of their blazing glory, unwavering burn, and deep, gratifying blue smoke. Those habanos are gone from the production list, but they are not forgotten; they will live on within our humidors. Deletion is not the end of their story, merely the next chapter. They have taken their place in the great holy humidor, and will spend eternity with cigars whose flavors are good, just like their own. Knowing these habanos has made us better people, and for that we should be grateful. Their memory will live on through us, and it is our privilege and responsibility to ensure they are remembered forever for how honorably they smoked, how delightful they tasted, and how complex their character was. For the fallen, a moment of silence please... 1- Punch (the marca - effectively decimated) 2- The Tainos (cousins from ERDM and LGC) 3- Partagas Serie Du Connaisseur (three brothers), Lonsdale, PC R.I.P. 5
Lant63 Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Bolivar Inmensas, CE, LGC MDO 1,2,3. Punch RS11, SS1, SS2. I've never had one, but the punch ninfas I'm upset about because I think a punch in that small of a ring gauge would be great. 1

Wertman Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 We talk about all these greats that are gone. Besides the Upmann PC that 10 years from now will be one of the greats, What's next? Any idea of which great will be on the chopping block?

I always have a bad feeling that the RAG is going to disappear. Hopefully that's just me being paranoid lol
SCgarman Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 For those who miss the Dip#4, what made it so great? What was the flavor profile? I was gifted a Dip3 once, and it was unique to say the least.
thecrowder Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 ERdM Grandes de Espana, Partagas SDC 1 & 3, Dunhill Estupendos, ERdM Lunch Clubs, Davidoff Chateau Latour

I was gifted a Dip3 once, and it was unique to say the least. They were just a pleasant. light-bodied short smoke...Petit Coronas are becoming far few between. They were also always affordable (cheaper than Monte 4).
zeedubbya Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 I’ll second BCE and Punch Ninfas. The BCE is a recently discovered gem, and the Ninfas was a cigar I used to enjoy greatly. Split a 50 Cab of Ninfas with a friend some 15 years ago and they were just awesome cigars.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
RijkdeGooier Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Most missed 1. ERdM Tainos 2. Partagas Coronas 3. Punch Ninfas 4. Davidoff No.1 Lancero 5. QdO Imperiales pre 1998 1
gweilgi Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 RA 898 Bolivar Inmensos LGC Tainos Trinidad Robustos Extra The one ray of hope might be their brief resurrection as some sort of limited release or custom order...
smokin.joe Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Though I have not seen anything official, it appears the Saint Luis Rey double corona and A are long gone. Wish these and the Quai D'orsay imperiales were still around. Just glad I still have 4 boxes of the QD imperiales left.
